I started from mp0305cv.tgz and > xvid_snapshot_21_01_2002.tar.gz, are these the same ones you have ? Oh, I just remembered. XVid compiles by default with none of the optimizations turned on (like the custom assembly and even -O). I didn't notice that the first time and got really awful performace out of it (couldn't encode half frames at realtime!). Once I beat the makefile a bit and made it compile with the custom assembly and with the optimization flags turned on I managed to get good performance out of it. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
